hi. i got interested in this phone and seems to have decent rom support. since the last update i have some doubts with unlocking bootloader:
first, people is panicking this update broke many things, and users are not sure bootloader is unlockable anymore. this is a must for me, please confirm me if that got ruined for this update or still works.
second, people also mentions about a code and i'm confused. the pinned guide says is as simple as one command, but users report they are being requested an special code the phone gives you. chow does this work? if i want to get the phone from a previous owner would it mean i can't access that code? what oneplus asks for exactly?
thanks for your time
I don't know what code you are talking about. Just follow the guide, be sure what you are doing and be sure how to get things right if something is going south.

ok, THIS i want to talk now.
can you please explain under what conditions is won't be unlocable or what oems don't allow it?
this has the upmost importance to me. its super important it being possible to unlock. the phones that dont allow it, is it because updates, fabrication region, time they were made or other factors?

I couldn't tell you all the OEM's that wouldn't allow unlocking, I think T-Mobile in the US is one but mine (from Three UK) isn't limited in that way.
If you reboot to bootloader and run "fastboot oem unlock" after enabling that setting above and it fails then your bootloader is locked by oem

Generally, if the phone is SIM-locked the "OEM Unlocking" will be greyed-out and you can't toggle it until you SIM-unlock your phone.
On T-Mobile, for example, once you SIM-unlock the phone, you run a command in Fastboot to get your phones unlock code.
Once you have your bootloader's unlock code, you submit a request on OnePlus' Unlock Token page.
Devices bought directly from OnePlus should be unlockable out of the box.
Hope this helps!

Hi
I think you tried to do "fastboot oem unlock" on your Android 12 phone, but unfortunately you could not boot to fastboot mode anymore, do am I right?

Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock code finder will find the SIM unlock code for your device, or the unfreeze code. It'll take a few minutes to run, but you should end up with the code to SIM unlock your device. If the code doesn't work, don't keep trying it !. You may end up with a freeze. In that case, the program can also find the unfreeze code, but if the SIM unlock code is wrong in the first place, maybe so is the unfreeze code

THIS IS ONLY FOR NON-US RESIDENTS, SORRY. YOUR LAWS HAVE GONE BACKWARDS, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SIM UNLOCK NO MORE
Nice. Good job.
Thank u so much... Keep up your great work, Chainfire
Downloaded and ran on my unlocked device and it came up with 00000000.
I am running to find the unfreexe code too, though not really sure how it works? Should I expect a valid code?
There is no SIM unlock code because there is no SIM lock ? Not sure about the unfreeze code, but I doubt it'll come up with one.
Nicely done.
You are truly a productive person.

I thought a SIM unlock code was realted to the device, not to the device and the *current state of the SIM lock* (ie, it must be locked to display an unlock code!)
It came up with an 8 digit number starting 9242
Is it actually a useful number if you have no sim lock?
James
I don't think so
Hi Chainfire, just poped into your thread to say, APP appears to be working fine.
As a note for everyone, even on a factory unlocked model the unfreeze code should still be present.

This is crazy.
Requested my unlock code from o2 over a week ago. They contacted me on Saturday to say they do not have it and that they will have to resubmit the unlock code request to Samsung.
I still do not have an unlock code after 2 weeks of owning the phone.
Literally 5 minutes after seeing the xda tweet about this thread my phone is now unlocked.
Crazy, absolutely crazy that the community can do in 5 minutes what the corporate world can't achieve in 2 weeks.
I am blown away, many many thanks to the op, this is outstanding
O2 were no use at all for this. Chainfire's app sorted the issue in minutes. Great work. Thanks.
I already unlocked mine using Odia's method but this looks way easier.. Good Job man..
Let me act stupit and ask. What this do? What is it usefull for?
I have myself 5 virgin sim cards from tmobile.

Normally in Samsung phones if you enter a phone lock code (PLK) and you forget the code, the master code can be used to reset it, I am not sure if Samsung Android phones would work in the same way because the PLK does not seem to be written to nv_data.bin when activated.

Its a lot easier for the less experienced users and Chainfire has done a very good job with the APK, although using the manual method with a GFX card to brute force the hash is a lot quicker
I need help - got my S2 from O2 which it's locked to. After nine days, still no unlock code from O2, apparently delays in obtaining them.
Downloaded and ran this app, but failed with 'Could not acquire Supersuer access! Is your device rooted?'
What does this mean and what do I need to do to resolve it?
Thanks in advance.

I have installed this and got my Unfreeze Code, however the Unlock code is just comes up as 0000000000.
It also take much less than a second to generate it, so I assume there's a problem?
The Unfreeze code took a few minutes and produced an actual code ... have I missed something?

Verizon Droid Incredible 2 in America = HTC S710D in China.
Offical homepage: http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
Rom required: 3.06.1401.0
From website:
It is our responsibility to caution you that not all claims resulting or caused by or from the unlocking of the bootloader may be covered under warranty. Please note that unlocking your bootloader does not mean that you will be able to unlock the SIM lock. Unlocking your SIM lock is at the discretion of your operator/carrier and is not part of the bootloader unlocking scope.
Our devices have been designed with our hardware and software specifications in mind and unlocking the bootloader will change the software and may cause unexpected side effects. It is impossible for HTC to ensure the proper functioning of your device after this. In the worst case scenario, it is possible that your device may be physically damaged due to overheating or the behavior of your device might be altered including, but not limited to, hearing aid compatibility (HAC) and specific absorption rate (SAR) values.
Some content on your device may also be invalidated and cannot be accessed any more because of invalid DRM security keys. This includes content that you may have purchased through a 3rd party vendor and through HTC. Furthermore, although you will still be able to receive updates to your device via FOTA (“firmware over the air”), we do not guarantee that updating your device via FOTA will not render your device unusable. Please understand that you will not be able to return your device to the original state and going forward your device may not be held covered under the warranty for all claims resulting from the unlocking of the bootloader. HTC bears no responsibility if your device is no longer usable afterwards.
HTC is committed to assisting customers in unlocking bootloaders for HTC devices. However, due to some of our carrier customers concerns, certain models with specific restrictions may not be able to be unlocked. Please refer to our list of supported devices to see if your device is eligible for unlocking the bootloader.
We strongly suggest that you do not unlock the bootloader unless you are confident that you understand the risks involved. This is a technical procedure and the side effects could possibly necessitate repairs to your device not covered under warranty. If you are still interested in unlocking the bootloader, and you understand the consequences both to your device and to your warranty, then you may refer to the following pages where we have provided the unlocking instructions.

This looks like it only for the China Telecom version. HTC will only unlock devices with carrier approval. I haven't tested (already S-Off), but I don't believe it will work for the US version.

It's all good, you should NEVER rush anything with root. You most likely skipped over the part that if it did work, there is no way to reverse it, AND since they now know you are rooted, warranties are voided, and they can probably know when you are stealing wireless tether.
Not too mention, we got root, awhile ago.
And if its anything like the htc evo3d unlock its not really a true unlock. I know some of the evo guys that went the official route could not even flash kernels. Just my two cents but i would use revolutionary or xtc clip

yea it isn't a full nand lock like say the XTC clip, the sim is still locked.
Yes that's what I thought. You willingly void your warranty and you don't even get the full advantages. If I wasn't rooted and my phone came with 2.3.4 I would wait on an exploit or use a clip. But to each his own I guess

It's Offical below:
Why is my security still on (S-On) after I have unlocked my bootloader?
Your device is shipped with Security on (S-ON) to protect your system software configuration (such as the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and others). After you have unlocked the bootloader, however, you will have lifted the restrictions on boot, recovery and system. This means you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. You can easily see that you have successfully unlocked the bootloader by looking at the top of the screen when entering the bootloader screen. Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock.

Someone has tested on his S710D(S-ON).
After unlock, he can flash any recovery, diy roms with root.
Radio can't be flash.
Anyone hear anything on this yet?
Haha you have been a little bit faster than me xD Would have been my question as well, are there any information about this?
Razer already stated it would be an unlocked bootloader. Can't find video but it's mentioned in one of the first hands on

Bootloader is unlocked by the user in dev options on the phone, should the user so choose to do so. Voids the warranty.
Rooting the phone is up to the user, but also voids the warranty, as the reply in the image says.
kungpaoshizi said:

There will maybe a option to enable unlocking the bootloader.
This will not unlock the bootloader, it will only enable the command to unlock it I think.
Like on the oneplus.
If you live in the EU, unlocking the bootloader and rooting the phone - wont void the warranty, if you have a hardware related fault.
I do find the EU has better consumer protection than the US.
What companies can do here while taking your money? Uh ya, that's one reason I bet the USA is becoming a big laughing stock of the world.

YMMV But from what I've seen with a few other companies, if the repair is hardware related and not software they almost never actually care if its bootloader locked or not. Can't say Razer/Nextbit would be the same though.
Ya I've not dealt with razer for the laptops. I know for my mouse and keyboard record, they're good on responding, synapse updates happen fast enough to almost be annoying, hardware seems decent, though about 20% fails after the first year. (though I found out later the mouse doesn't actually fail, it's electric "char" that builds up on the metal switch internally because it's so thin)
Got the phone otw though, pretty excited. Can't wait for the analytics to start trickling in to see what we can do with this beast.
I have one already. It works. Just tried it. Bootloader unlocked.

That's not how you unlock the bootloader, that setting is part of the process and enables the ability for you to unlock the bootloader via fastboot.

You would not be able to select that option if the bootloader was unable to be unlocked. It unlocks the first key. If that key is unlocked, then fastboot oem unlock bootloader can work. So it is valid proof that it's unlockable.

Right, I didn't dispute that but he said "Bootloader unlocked" which at that point, it was not. If it was, that setting would be greyed out and it would say "Bootloader is already unlocked"
The three questions I asked when the phone was announced, and finally weeks later they are answered
Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to re-lock my bootloader but the OEM Unlock toggle is stuck to the left position whilst displaying the message "Bootloader is already unlocked".
If I try to switch the toggle to the right position, the device will factory reset and then when it powers back up, the toggle is in the left position again.
Is this a result of knox being tripped?
In DL mode it displays both FRP and OEM lock as OFF.
Thanks for the help!

Is there no way to re-lock it?

If need be I'll just install magisk on stock and put the info in the eBay listing.

As I said, other members have already posted about the same problem, I have not seen a solution yet, although you could read through a few of those threads and see if they were updated

So, the bootloader is unlocked, have you guys tried flashing the Odin files with a newer revision of the bootloader?
Thanks for your answer! I have tried to update it, to make a downgrade, to wait 7 days ... and nothing, everything remains the same. The bootloader is binary 6, and the only move I have been able to do with odin is update and donwgrade in the July and August updates. Maybe if Samsung updates the bootloader to binary 7, it will be solved, it is honestly the only thing left for me to try.

It's been 9 years since I last did anything like this and resources seem a bit scattered so I would like a push in the right direction to get my phone where I want.
My phone is on LE2127_11_f.27 and want to unlock the bootloader, install twrp, and flash Lineage OS but I'm running into an issue with bootloader unlocking.
The device is carrier unlocked and I have a token file provided from oneplus but it doesnt seem to be working.

Im guessing the file they sent me is wrong because I had to communicate with customer support as my serial number was 7 digits long as opposed to 8 digits.
With this in mind, Ive also seen posts saying I don't need to have a token to unlock.
Should I use magisk to unlock it instead? Are there advantages/disadvantages to it? (it being a dependency, adding a safety net, etc.)
Finally, what should I do in what order? I can figure out the details of execution but I want to make sure everything will go smoothly.

How old is the phone? You should not have been able to get an unlock token with only 7 digits in a serial number. Been there and done that. Again how old is the phone?
Also did you buy the phone from T-Mobile, and is TMO your cell carrier? I can get you where you need to be, but need the information.
I can link you to a TMO to GLO MSM Tool, then you can unlock bootloader without a token, then install lineageOS, install TWRP and magisk.

I will give you the link for the MSM Tool to convert you from TMO to GLO Thursday because until then I will be on the road. It will convert your TMO to GLO so you can unlock the bootloader. Patience!
If you don't want root, you don't have to root to install LineageOS.
I will have it for you Wednesday!
In the meantime, disable driver signing on PC, reboot PC, download the latest OnePlus and Qualcomm USB drivers and install them and then reboot PC. Then you will be ready to convert the phone!

Thank you.
My power button is not working. Is there any command to exit from edl mode?
yes there is. but edl itself has a timeout, so it won't accept commands
